CAPITAL CITY LAWN GRASS SEED 
USED AS TAMPER 
We take great pride in the quality of our Lawn Grass Seed and steadily increasing sales 
show that this quality is appreciated. To prepare a good lawn you must have seed of the 
proper kind and use plenty of it; you cannot produce a fine and beautiful lawn with ordinary 
hay seed. Next in importance is the proper preparation of the soil. Spade or plow it deeply, 
fertilize freely, and make it fine, free from clods and perfectly level, avoiding uneven places. 
When to sow. Plant early in Spring or Fall at the rate of 150 pounds to the acre. In 
the Spring sow as early as possible, raking the surface of the soil very fine and then sowing 
the seed. Cover by rolling with a light roller. In the Fall sow before the Autumn rains have 
ceased. One pound of our mixture will sow 200 square feet. 
This is a mixture of numerous varieties selected especially to produce a fine, velvety turf. 
Some kinds are used because they spread along the surface of the ground and keep the lawn 
“knit together;” others are used because they thrive in dry weather and keep the lawn green, 
and still others because they thrive early in the Spring and late in the Fall. No one grass 
can make a good lawn. A scientific blending is necessary. The grasses in 
the Capital City Mixture are native hardy kinds which will not winterkill, 
and which will produce a fine sod, under favorable conditions. In the 
Capital City Mixture there is every good grass and no bad ones. It is not 
made from a ready-made formula, but is compounded of species generally 
more expensive and more satisfactory than those that go into the ordinary 
mixture. It is not a cheap lawn grass, but it is sold as cheaply as we can sell it considering the cost of the 
materials. 1 lb., 55c.; 2 lbs., $1.00; 3 lbs., $1.45; 5 lbs., $2.25; 10 lbs., $4.40; 15 lbs., $6.60; 25 lbs.,

It is quite difficult to obtain a satisfactory growth of grass under trees and in shady places, and we 
recommend the use of this special mixture. In extremely shady spots or under trees, a liberal applica¬ 
tion of lime is recommended in the Fall. Apply sheep manure and sow Shady Nook Lawn seed in early
